ABSORBEN'l -PAD MACHINE.

Application filed March 24, 1920. Serial No. 368,456.

. My invention relates to improvements in machines for making absorbentpads such as sanitary napkins in which the pad material is enclosed inother material, such as cotton gauze. In the specific machine whichforms the basis for the present invention the pad or absorbent materialis formed of a section of multiply tissue paper having the necessarynumber of laminae to form a pad of the desired thickness. Such materialhas been styled by one manufacturer cellucotton and is usually sodescribed in the trade. It will be understood, however, that theinvention is capable of other applications and uses than the onespecifically described herein.

The principal objects of the invention are to provide a machine orapparatus of the class described which will receive the padding and theenclosing material therefor and deliver the completed product in a formwhich requires substantially no further treatment prior to being packedfor sale; to provide an improved machine of the class described whichwill receive the padding and gauze, or other enclosing material, in rollform, the operations of severing-the sections ofpadding and thegauzeenclosures being performedautomatically; to provide a machine of theclass described in which the section of padding is automaticallyinserted into the gauze enclosure and thereafter secured in position inthe gauze; to provide a machine of the class described in which thegauze enclosure with its containing paddin are delivered automaticallyand continuous y from the machine without attention from the operator;to provide a ma-. chine which shall be relatively simple and economicalin design and manufacture and withal simple and inexpensive to operateand maintain; and in general to provide an improved machine of thecharacter referred to.
